Did you know that the turkey you're going to enjoy on Thanksgiving Day this Thursday is probably halal? If it's a Butterball turkey, then it certainly is -- whether you like it or not.

...I discovered that only two plants in the U.S. that perform halal slaughter keep the halal meat separated from the non-halal meat, and they only do so because plant managers thought it was right to do so. At other meat-packing plants, animals are slaughtered following halal requirements, but then only a small bit of the meat is actually labeled halal.

Now here is yet more poisonous fruit of that scandal.

...Across this great country, on Thanksgiving tables nationwide, infidel Americans are unwittingly going to be serving halal turkeys to their families this Thursday. Turkeys that are halal certified -- who wants that, especially on a day on which we are giving thanks to G-d for our freedom? I wouldn't knowingly buy a halal turkey -- would you? Halal turkey, slaughtered according to the rules of Islamic law, is just the opposite of what Thanksgiving represents: freedom and inclusiveness, neither of which are allowed for under that same Islamic law.

Personally, I wouldn't want a Halal turkey if I could avoid it either, because I think the practice unnecessarily cruel, in spite of protestations that it is the most humane method of slaughter. It might well have been back in the day, but the day was a long, long time ago.

But I know these people are getting upset not because of that, but because their meat has had the wrong magical incantations said over it. My mind is full of wat that anyone could care.

Wow our friends at American Thinker are really pulling the curtain back here and what Pam is revealing is quite disturbing. I now totally give a fucking shit that my turkey may or may not have been slaughtered in accordance with the rules and regulations of a slightly different sky man from the leading brand in North America.

Oh yeah and who could forget how "our" God symbolizes individual liberty and unfettered free market capitalism and the right to bear arms and blah blah blah.

So then, about eating food sacrificed to idols: We know that “An idol is nothing at all in the world” and that “There is no God but one.” 5 For even if there are so-called gods, whether in heaven or on earth (as indeed there are many “gods” and many “lords”)

This woman, (and I recall Bryan Fischer saying something similar) is woefully ignorant of what her own bible says. How embarrassing when, me, an atheist, is more knowledgeable?

First of all, why do you care? A turkey is a turkey. It's not going to taste different, and you wouldn't go to hell for eating halal/kosher food. Hell, for the sake of redundancy, it might even spare your ass if it turns out Judaism/Islam is the one religion.

Second, slaughterhouses would NOT slaughter all meat halal style. It's done without anaesthetic and requires a prayer to be said before severing the neck arteries. That is inefficiency that American companies usually do not want for a product this isn't meant to be halal in the first place.

Setting aside the fact that I'm against halal (and kosher for that matter) method of slaughtering. I doubt Geller is opposing halal because it's a cruel way to produce meat, but solely because it's "the moselmen"-way.

Also, I can't ignore the irony when she says:"... especially on a day on which we are giving thanks to G-d for our freedom? [] Halal turkey, slaughtered according to the rules of Islamic law, is just the opposite of what Thanksgiving represents: freedom and inclusiveness" So it's a holiday dedicated to giving thanks to your god and your god only, but other people are being inclusive? And what does the method of slaughter have to do with "freedom"?
